Book Description
“I’m sorry to have to break this to you. Mr Selamat, it is cancer.” Just a week after the initial scan, the doctor at the ENT Centre at Singapore General Hospital, sadly broke the news. I went blank for like 3 minutes. Just how does 1 react to this? What does a wife typically do? What does a mother of 5 generally do? Do I start bawling now? Do I start thinking of the worst? Do I start researching all sorts of remedy? Do I ask the doctor to check his notes again? How should I be feeling? At first, I thought, where did I go wrong in the simplest job of taking care of my Husband? Why didn’t I ask him to get that little lump on his neck checked before it grew? Wives carry with us such responsibility that it is just unthinkable how things could go wrong. On that day, he began his life as our cancer Warrior. And I became a caregiver.

Goodbye My Kampong!
Author: Josephine Chia
Publisher: Ethos Books
ISBN: 9811432562
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
Sequel to Josephine Chia’s 2014 Singapore Literature prize-winning book, Kampong Spirit - Gotong Royong: Life in Potong Pasir, 1955 to 1965. Kampong life in Singapore did not end in 1965 with her independence. In Josephine Chia’s new collection of non-fiction stories, the phasing out of attap-thatched villages, the largest mass movement in Singapore, is set against the backdrop of significant national events. Weaving personal tribulations—her teenage angst—and the experiences of villagers from her kampong, Josephine skilfully parallels the hopes and challenges of a toddling nation going through the throes of industrialisation and rapid changes from 1966 to 1975. These delightful, real-life stories, sprinkled with snippets of her Peranakan culture, reveal the joie-de-vivre of gotong royong or community spirit, despite impoverished conditions, in the last days of kampong life.
